Los Amantes sources espadín agaves from a small consortium of small village palenques throughout Oaxaca. The brand uses traditional methods in mezcal production including a stone tahona to crush the cooked agaves. This reposado spends up to 8 months in clay and new American oak. Los Amantes translates to "The Lovers" and is named for the ancient Aztec legend of Mayahuel, the goddess of the maguey plant and fertility.

Tasting Notes

"Los Amantes Reposado is very subtle with the aromatics tiptoeing onto the senses. Faint notes of vanilla, lemon, licorice root, mustard seeds and raisins entice the nose. It displays a little less subtlety on the palate. There you'll find flavors full of ripe grilled peaches, vanilla, coffee, charred oak, cinnamon and allspice. There is a mild tannic bitterness on the back of the palate and overall reminiscent of a reposado tequila."
